About Steve Nelson

Results for pages tagged "Steve Nelson"...

Musician

Described as “the most completely realized and original performer on the vibraphone,” Steve Nelson began his career in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania choosing an instrument not often seen on the bandstand. He was introduced to the vibraphone in high school by George A. Monroe, a steel worker by day, and a gifted vibraphonist in the Milt Jackson tradition. Along with early instruction in jazz, Monroe also taught him the piano. Steve dedicates "Blues for George A." to his teacher on his album, Full Nelson .
